The Sound of the Nawat / Pipil language (Numbers, Greetings, WOrds & The Parable)

[@Velociferon]

I never knew my country. My parents fled El Salvador during the civil war and had me here. Thanks for this. I longed to find more out about my people

[@germ187]

Travel to El Salvador, experience your country. Learn where you came from and be proud of our culture. Our people are more than just pupusas!

[@knightcrawlrrr7832]

We HAVE to keep this language alive.

[@juliohernandez9372]

As a Salvadoran American with a degree in linguistics, I thank you 👏🏾

[@alexkkx]

i’m half nicaraguan and this language was also spoken by some of the indegenous peoples on the pacific coast of nicaragua. in fact in the 19th century the vernacular common language was a mix between nahuatl(nawat) and spanish. a very culturally symbolic performance called el güegüense was originally performed and told in this mixed language. güegüense actually comes from the word huehue which meant “old or wise man”. not to mention of our national dishes the nacatamal comes from this langaue, “nakatamal”, and many words from nawat (nahuatl) and other languages of the nicaraguan pacific coast have influenced nicaraguan spanish.

[@clubb2724]

Nice to see that you upload videos about extinct and endangered langauges to draw everyone's attention to them and make more people aware of such gems.

This is so funny, my great grandma would always call the possums TACUASINES, I never knew it came from our native tongue! Que descanse en paz Mamá Fina 🙏

[@EddyOver9000]

Similar to “Tacuache”, “Tlacuache”, or “Tlacuatzin” in Nahuatl from Mexico. It seems to be that Mexico and El Salvador have ancestors of the same or similar origin

[@knightcrawlrrr7832]

@@EddyOver9000 i heard that the Pipil broke away from the Aztec and settled in Cuzcatlan becoming the Pipil

[@gustavovillegas5909]

As a learner of Huasteca Nahuatl it's interesting to see the similarities and differences between the two languages :)

[@dtorres691]

So happy to come across this, as a native Salvadoran, I’d love to learn as much of the language of my ancestors as I can 💙

[@tompoxkosi]

Studying Classical Nahuatl and learning about Proto-Nahuan, I hadn't really given a look to Nawat, and it's funny to try and find where the lexical/grammatical splits occured and from which PN roots/words (especially, to me, "yek" ("good, right, well") being used here as a standalone adverb when "yēc" is incorporated to the verbstem in Classical, and "takamayat" ("bear") equivalent to CN "tlācamāyeh", "who has (-eh) human (tlāca-) hands (mā(y)-)", showing that that final -h in CN might come from a PN -t and isn't just an apocope of the common PN verb ending -ha like I read sometimes, except if Nawat is the one who went h>t)

[@roninjolin7687]

Yo y mi hermano somos los unicos en la familia quien quieren aprender... A mi mama y mi abuela no les gusta recordarse que somos Nawat Pipiles. Mejor estoy aprendieno Chino, pero quiero aprender Nawat. Estoy casi solo en este deseo

I am a proud english and spanish speaker, I hope to be able to somewhat speak and write pipil one day! I remember my aunts and uncles telling us stories of the old ways and languages.

Excellent video. I love languages. I will start learning Nahuat and try it once I get back to El Salvador next year. Thanks!

Aztec languages really look way less intimidating without all the hu's and x's.

[@valkeakirahvi]

And most notably no tl!

I half agree, the x's for sh are fine, hu for w on the other hand...

it's a Uto-Aztecan language closely related to Nahuatl

[@Davi-lx6gj]

no, is a Nahuan language, a language in the same branch than Nahuatl that's why so similar.

[@sangreazulyblanca3810]

No its a seperate language

[@joeldiaz7416]

The numbers 1-10 were almost the same. And some the vocabulary was the same. Like kal, which is house in this dialect. And calli which is house in nahuatl.

Yes, a dialect or a close relative.

Numero uno se llamaba Tenochtitlan! Número dos todo lo que era Tenochtitlan guatemala y kushkatan y Honduras y Nicaragua eramos todos mayas, no havia esta chingadera de que yo soy mexicano y yo salvadoreño shit. Cuando los españoles violadores llegaron a Tenochtitlan los aztecas recibieron a los españoles como si fueran dioses y eso fue porque quetzalcoatl prometio regresar asi como jesus les prometio a Jerusalem que un dia regresara! So cuando los españoles llegaron ellos pensaron que era quetzalcoatl, pero después de la conquista de mexico y guatemala llegaron a el salvador en el año 1524 pero los nahuat pipiles no recibieron a los españoles como dioses pero como invadores y les rompieron la madre dos veces hasta que los españoles mandaron mas refuerzo. Y aparte de eso los españoles tenian gente indígenas de México con ellos para seguir la conquista.. es bueno leer y saber de la cultura para que asi nadie les baje los guevos o los quiera aguevar..
